  “Look! It’s moving. It’s alive. It’s alive… It’s alive, it’s moving, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, IT’S ALIVE!”

  Issued by Nakatomi Inc in 2013 as a series of high-quality silk-screen prints scanned directly from Berni Wrightson’s original pen and ink drawings used in the 25th-anniversary edition of his ‘Frankenstein’ book. This amazingly detailed and intricate illustration, titled ‘A Filthy Process’ shows Frankenstein working to bring his ‘creature’ to life in his laboratory. Printed onto 130lb Cougar Natural Cover paper, this print has been signed with a full ‘Bernie Wrightson’ signature and hand-numbered #45/100. Presented in excellent condition with minimal handling wear this incredibly rare and highly collectible screen print, is an excellent example of modern cinematic movie memorabilia. Note: A page of Wrightson’s original Frankenstein art for the comics adaptation (same series as this) sold at auction in 2019 for a world record price of $1.2 million.

  About Bernie Wrightson: Bernard Albert Wrightson was an American artist, among his career high points were co-creating the Swamp Thing character for DC Comics, his unique illustrated interpretation of the novel Frankenstein and adapting classic horror tales for Warren Publications, which feature his trademark intricate pen and brushwork.

  Trivia: Boris Karloff‘s Monster in this film does not physically resemble the character in Mary Shelley‘s novel. It was make-up artist Jack P. Pierce who came up with innovations such as the Monster’s flat head, the bolts through the neck, the droopy eyelids, and the poorly-fitted suit. Any future Frankenstein film that features any of these physical abnormalities is taking its inspiration from Pierce’s make-up work.
